Legendary goalkeeper Oliver Kahn believes Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo will win this year's Ballon d'Or award, beating rival Lionel Messi despite the latter's treble-winning season with Barcelona.
In an interview with FIFA.com (h/t Sport), the former Bayern Munich star commented on the lack of respect goalkeepers receive in these kinds of awards before making his prediction:
I think that in international terms – and it’s not just Europe that votes – it’s still not widely understood that a goalkeeper can be in contention for an award like this.
